“ I recently had the pleasure of dining here and it was a delightful experience. I chose to sit outside at a patio table, and even though it was on the street, the ambiance was surprisingly peaceful. The service was a bit slow, but given how busy it was, the server did a commendable job of being visible and attentive when needed. The highlight, of course, was the seafood. The oysters, both East and West Coast varieties, were incredibly fresh and came with a special sauce that perfectly enhanced their natural flavors. The sushi was equally impressiveeach piece was prepared with care and tasted delicious. Overall, a wonderful spot for sushi lovers looking for fresh seafood and a pleasant dining atmosphere. Highly recommend! ”

“ Awesome experience! Love the sake flight! Also what a treat to have the Broad Street no rice roll. For you KETO lovers, there are more norice tasties to choose from. Miso soup was perfectly steaming for this chilly nite. Bar staff extremely attentive and friendly pros. ”
“ A previously local Philadelphian, Tuna Bar is always a mustdo stop when I come back to the city. Some of the best sushi in town for a reasonable price with a moderately fancy vibe. Even the takeout I got tonight was stellar, but highly recommend sitting down and then strolling race street pier. ”
“ Tuna bar has the absolute best and most flavorful options from drinks to food on this side of town. I do recommend making a reservation as it does get packed. Our hostess and our server were both sweethearts and really set the tone for a great evening. Very vibrant and dim lighting making the atmosphere more personable with you and your guests. Simply no disappointments whatsoever! ”
“ Wow! Some of the best sushi Ive had! Everything was delicious. We had rock shrimp, wagyu beef spring rolls and spicy tuna crispy rice to start. All were excellent and Id say try them all. A number of reviews mentioned the Liberty roll, which was really good. But I liked the Broad Street roll even more! A must get. We also had the Big Tuna and it was excellent too. Sat outside on a beautiful night. Do yourself a favor and get here soon! Returned and had some of the same dishes that were still great. Also had the fatty tuna sashimi and the tuna shallot roll. Both were excellent, and I recommend them. ”
“ TLDR multiple gluten free options, accommodating staff Came here for a quick bite with friends and had a wonderful time. They were booked up but let us sit at the bar. Our bartender was very kind and let us try out some wines before we ordered. It was very cold outside but the temperature inside was complimentary warm without having to strip layers. We ordered a few rolls and an appetizer that were all exactly as described.One of our party is gluten free not by choice and our bartender was very attentive to ensure that what she ordered was edible for her. We ordered a shrimp tempura roll and a rittenhouse roll while our gluten free friend enjoyed a peppered tuna roll and tuna tartare. 1010 we will definitely go back while we are in town. ”
“ Awesome sushi spot in Old City. The creamy rock shrimp and karaage chicken were great starts and the oysters were flavorful and super unique. The sushi rolls were amazing. Would highly recommend. ”
